Herb-Roasted Chicken Legs with Root Vegetables
Chicken legs roasted until golden with a fragrant herb rub, served with tender, caramelized carrots and parsnips for a comforting and savory finish.
INGREDIENTS
0.5 medium chicken leg quarters
0.25 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 cup carrots
0.5 cup parsnips
1 tsp dried rosemary
1 tsp dried thyme
0.5 tsp garlic powder
0.5 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the carrots and parsnips, then slice them into half-inch thick rounds to ensure even roasting.
Pat the chicken leg quarters completely dry with paper towels to ensure the skin becomes perfectly crispy.
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, rosemary, thyme, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
Place the chicken and sliced root vegetables on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle with the herb oil mixture.
Toss the vegetables to coat and arrange them in a single layer around the chicken quarters.
Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the vegetables are tender.
Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving to keep the meat juicy and flavorful.
